Robert Lewandowski’s phenomenal goal-scoring run continued on Tuesday

with a hat-trick in Bayern Munich’s 5-0 mauling as Dinamo Zagreb’s

45-match unbeaten run was halted in emphatic fashion.

Lewandowski again ran riot in the Champions League home match as

Mario Goetze and Douglas Costa also netted to put Bayern top of Group F

following their 3-0 win at Olympiakos a fortnight ago before facing

Arsenal away in three weeks.

“We played in a very concentrated fashion from the start and when you

take your goal chances, the game was over after 30 minutes,” said

Bayern captain Philipp Lahm.

The Poland hot-shot has now scored 10 goals in his last three games

after netting five in just nine spectacular minutes of Bayern’s 5-1

hammering of Wolfsburg last Tuesday before claiming two more in

Saturday’s 3-0 win at Mainz.

“I am happy to get three more goals, but the main thing is that we won 5-0,” said Lewandowski.

“It doesn’t matter how many goals I score as long as we keep picking up points.

“The whole team played well, which creates opportunities for me.”

But with 10 goals in eight days, Lewandowski is in incredible form.

“He’s had an unbelievable week behind him,” admitted Lahm, who joked

that he expects at least three goals from Lewandowski per game from now

on.

The thrashing of Zagreb left Bayern three points clear of

second-placed Olympiakos in the table following their shock 3-2 win over

Arsenal in London.

This was Zagreb’s heaviest away defeat in Europe as the five-goal

difference superseded their 6-2 loss at Real Madrid in the group stages

four years ago.

Lewandowski now has 17 goals for club and country as Bayern enjoyed an easy win.

Zagreb’s performance made a mockery of their 10-month unbeaten run in

all competitions as they only created their first clear shot on goal

with an hour gone after Bayern had raced into a 4-0 lead at the break.

Costa opened the floodgate on 13 minutes by skipping past a defender to beat Zagreb goalkeeper Eduardo at the near post.

The second followed on 21 minutes when Dinamo’s 18-year-old

centre-back Filip Benkovic slipped after heading the ball down, Thiago

Alcantara pounced on the error and his pass found Lewandowski in acres

of space.

Eduardo’s night went from bad to worse when he failed to deal with

Goetze’s weak shot after an exchange of passes with Kingsley Coman and

the ball bobbled over the line to the 33-year-old’s dismay on 25

minutes.

Lewandowski claimed his second on 28 minutes when he met Costa’s

cross and his shot cannoned off the underside of the bar to bounce over

the line with the Dinamo defence cut to ribbons.

Lewandowski saved his best goal of the night to claim his hat-trick.

Costa showed off his dazzling skills with a deft flick to Thiago, who

put Lewandowski in behind the defence and the Poland striker scooped

the ball over the hapless Eduardo on 55 minutes.

Only a good save from the Portugal national goalkeeper prevented

Lewandowski getting his fourth when he dived at the striker’s feet on 75

minutes.

Shortly after the Croatian double champions had their first corner as

they found themselves completely outgunned as Bayern fired in 27 shots

on goal to just seven in reply as Lewandowski fired wide with two clear

chances.
